March 23 FFKKR received a letter from the ISU, which reported that
"up until the ISU did not evaluate the results of completed medical examination and the planned procedures (including additional information) needed to return athletes to active work, figure skater Evgeni Plushenko can not participate in any activities associated with figure skating (competitions, shows, tours, etc.). In this way, ISU notifies FFKKR, that Federation can not give permission to participate Evgeni Plushenko in any activities related to figure skating. This provision will remain in effect, until ISU not assess the results of medical examination and the planned procedures (including additional information) needed to return to active work, and not publish statement about that."
Earlier, at the request of organizers ice show "Kings of the ice", FFKKR agreed with participation in this show of Evgeni Plushenko, as and other athletes, the team members in Russia.
However, on the basis of the letter from the ISU, March 24 FFKKR notified the organizers of the show "Kings of the ice", that "FFKKR currently can not give permission to participate Evgeni Plushenko in the ice show "Kings of the ice" March 30 in St. Petersburg and 31 March in Moscow." March 26 a letter was sent and to the Chairman of the "Committee for Physical Culture and Sports" of St. Petersburg, with a copy of the President of the "Federation of figure skating" in St. Petersburg.
The same day,
26 March, FFKR received and forwarded to the ISU, additional (№ 2) a medical report FGU "Consultative and Diagnostic Centre and Polyclinic", in which was stated that
"In the period from 18.03.2010 to 25.03.2010, on the background of a significant reduction of physical exercise and physiotherapy treatment, indicated relief of swelling and pain of the right knee joint. At the present time is necessary to exclude physical activity on competitive level. In the absence of pain, physical exercise in the training mode using the maximum complexity of the elements is not allowed." In response to that supplementary report,
March 28 FFKKR received a letter from the ISU, which reported that the "Medical commission" of ISU reviewed the medical reports of doctors sent to the ISU about the state of Evgeni Plushenko, and that
"The Council of ISU, on the basis of the first conducted internal investigation, there were serious questions about the contradictions contained in these documents, and because that - this issue remains in the stage of consideration ISU. In accordance with the foregoing, ISU recommends Federation of figure skating in Russia to uphold the restrictions imposed on the participation of Evgeni Plushenko in any activities related to figure skating, which were proposed ISU in a letter dated March 23, 2010 - up to that, while ISU does not change decision. If Russian Skating Federation in the circumstances, approve the participation of Evgeni Plushenko in any activities related to figure skating, it could lead to sanctions, as against the Federation, and in respect of Evgeni Plushenko, in accordance with the relevant Rules of the ISU." March 29 FFKKR received
medical report (№ 3) with recommendations:
"Metered physical activity (excludes physical exercise on the competitive level), in the absence of pain during physical exercise in a training mode, using elements with not the maximum complexity is permitted." This medical report on the same day was sent to the ISU. However, with medical report to the ISU was sent and letter from Russian Skating Federation with request lift the ban on the participation Evgeni Plushenko in shows, on the basis of a new medical report.
March 30, ISU said that after internal consultation,
including with the President of the ISU -
"ISU, on the basis of opinion "Medical Commission" of ISU, feel justified their doubts about the real state of health Evgeni Plushenko during the World Figure Skating Championships in Turin, as and at the present time. Sufficient explanation of why the original recommendation of doctors, on the need to rest for 2 weeks has been changed, and to Evgeni Plushenko is allowed now, just a week, to take part in shows, was not provided. Therefore, the ISU can not change its decision, expressed in letters dated 23 and 28 March 2010." In this situation FFKKR could not act contrary to the decisions of the Council of ISU and to give permission for participation in the show E. Plushenko, because this could lead to sanctions against FFKKR specified in the letter ISU on March 28 and could put in removal of all Russian skaters to participate in official competitions ISU during a certain period of time.
March 30 for several hours before the show in St. Petersburg, Plushenko contacted the president of the ISU, Ottavio Cinquanta by phone. After that, to the president FFKKR reported the request of President ISU contact him. There was a 45 minute phone conversation Piseev with Cinquanta, during which were another attempt to convince President ISU to lift the ban on participation E. Plushenko in shows. However, the
ISU president insisted that he could not do that, because decision to ban was taken by Council of ISU, and not personally from them, than on the advice of doctors. He also said that because E. Plushenko announced his intention to continue his athletic career until the Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi, and if his intentions are serious,
then the athlete can not risk his health and participate in the show, having instruction from doctors to refrain from exercise. According to him, ISU and FFKKR can not, in these circumstances, authorize the participation of Plushenko's in the shows, and with thus take responsibility for possible complications related to athletes' health, which may arise, as a result of his appearances on the shows.
April 1, to the president's name of FFKKR received another letter from ISU:
"In continuation to our letter dated 30 March 2010, we ask that you notify the ISU, if took part of Evgeni Plushenko, since its removal from the World Championships, and/or whether he plans to take participations in shows in the near future. If such has occurred, or will occur, please inform us whether to give him your Federation permission to participate in these activities."Unfortunately, FFKKR could not give a precise answer to the ISU about plans E. Plushenko for his participation in shows, because was no request from Plushenko for permission to participate in other shows, except for the shows on March 30 in St. Petersburg and 31 March in Moscow, about FFKKR been reported. However, April 2, Plushenko has already participated in a shows in Sweden, France, Czech Republic, Romania and others. The same situation occurred with performances E. Plushenko in the show in Switzerland, immediately after the Olympics in Vancouver.
Unfortunately, current situation, when an athlete appears on the shows, not only without the permission of their national federation, than even without putting it into prominence, and contrary to the decision of the ISU, can lead to loss athlete's status, allowing him to compete in official ISU competitions.
April 23 this year, ISU offered E. Plushenko to provide his explanation on the matter. His letter, Plushenko sent directly to the ISU, and its explanations were considered by the ISU Council, when is making decision.
June 23 FFKKR received via express mail letter from the ISU, in which writing:
"Attached is the decision of the ISU Council, under which member of your Federation, Mr. Evgeni Plushenko was denied admission to the competitions, in connection with a violation of Rule 102, paragraph 2 i) "General Rules" of the ISU.
We kindly ask you to bring the above decision to Mr. Plushenko, and obtain from him a confirmation of receipt of this document. We recognize that your Federation in this case followed the rules and decisions of the ISU mentioned in our letters to your Federation by March 23 and March 28 In this regard, warning of possible sanctions ISU against the Federation of Figure Skating Russia indicated in our letter of March 28, 2010 shall no longer apply in light of currently known facts."
During the whole time, despite the apparent repeated violations, committed by the E. Plushenko, FFKKR has repeatedly attempted to avoid the adoption of sanctions against figure skater. However, the evidence of those violations are not allowed to do so in full measure.
Nevertheless, against E. Plushenko was used the most "soft" version of punishment, not excluding the possibility of restoring its status as "allowed" (eligibility) athlete, by decision of ISU Council. Also managed to avoid the application of possible sanctions by the ISU in respect FFKKR ie on figure skating team in Russia.
